      I saw your last feature in the Downtown Independent theater - it was fantastic! I'm glad to put my money towards an independent film project that will have heart and integrity and great acting AND look and sound fantastic. I know you will not just stretch my money but bend it into four-dimensional shapes to create awesomeness. Investing in this was a no-brainer. All the best, Sabi.

Connected as Zak Forsman (2341 friends)

Let's not pretend someone else is writing this bio. I am an artist-entrepreneur and filmmaker at The Sabi Company. My movies have played numerous festivals, won several awards and my latest feature is being distributed in the US and Canada early next year. But nothing has been more rewarding than the friends I've made in our casts, crews and fans in the audience. I love making movies and I've tried to give back to the indie film community as the editor of the New Breed blog on The Workbook Project and by organizing LA screenings of works by fellow filmmakers under the CINEFIST banner. In short, I'm having a blast.
